HONEY DIJON CHICKEN



Honey Dijon Chicken image

Try it, you're going to love it! It just doesn't get any easier than this. Five minutes of prep work, 30 minutes of cooking time, and you have a fantastic meal. The original recipe states that it makes enough sauce for 4 chicken breasts, but I've found that it can easily be stretched to serve with at least 6 decent-size chicken breasts.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 4 chicken breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch casserole dish (or any baking pan large enough to hold the chicken breasts). Place the chicken breasts in the coated baking pan.
  • With a wooden spoon, mix the mustard, honey, apricot preserves, and ginger in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush (or spoon) the mustard mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes (depending on thickness of the breasts).
  • After 15 minutes of baking turn over each chicken breast, spoon sauce over them, and continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes, or until breasts are thoroughly cooked.
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to individual plates. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast serving.
  • (For my kids, I like to put their portion of the sauce into a small condiment cup so they can use it as a dipping sauce. What can I say -- it's a kid thing.).

EASY CRISPY DIJON CHICKEN



Easy Crispy Dijon Chicken image

This is sooo easy to make, and everyone thinks you spent a lot of time making it. The cooking technique is what really makes this recipe work so well. You'll probably end up using this technique a lot; I sure do. (I made Kittencal's Easy and Delicious Ranch-Parmesan Chicken this way and it was amazing.) OK, back to the recipe; I use only 1/2 as much butter as the original recipe called for but I am posting it exactly as I received it. I think 2 tablespoons butter is plenty but you judge for yourself. So, keep in mind that you can cut the fat considerably by reducing the butter. I also use regular 1 or 2% milk instead of half and half when that's all I have around. It always comes out delicious. You can use this recipe for pork chops, too.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tablespoons butter (I use half)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or whatever mustard you like)
1/4 cup half-and-half (or whatever milk you have around)
1/4 cup cracker crumbs or 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, just use what you like
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Put the butter in a 9 or 10 inch square baking dish and put it in the oven while it is heating up.
  • Don't use a dish that is too big or the butter will end up spreading out too far from the chicken. This whole first part is very important and will help make your chicken end up crispy.
  • In one bowl, whisk together the mustard and half and half.
  • In another bowl, mix together the cracker crumbs and the cheese.
  • When the oven is completely heated up and the butter is sizzling in the baking dish, remove the pan from the oven and set it on a trivet on the counter next to your two mixtures.
  • Dip the chicken in the wet mixture; dredge in the crumb mixture.
  • This step is important. Put the chicken down in the dish and turn it over right away. The idea is to put it in the butter briefly and turn it over so the butter side is up. It makes the chicken get evenly crispy. I use this technique for all of my oven "frying" because it works so well.
  • Bake for approximately 45 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Leave them in there until the coating is browned real nicely. Mine are usually perfect at 45 minutes.
